Question For You

I believe Bagwell's car went to DeFrank & Cohen - where it was painted the same as their 'famous' Barracuda - and then to Ken Montgomery. I think Ken still has it.

Jerry has owneed that car for 30 plus years. It is not bagwells old car. That question is asked alot.

Philbilly I remembered racing with him in the early eighties at Knoxville and don't doubt he's had it even longer. Jerry deserves credit for maintaining/updating it at a very high level. Impressive what he has done compared to some of the highly funded Hemi car owners over the years.

Seems like his brother played a big role in the car but afraid I don't remember his name.

Thanks guys, it's just that Jerry's car LOOKS so much like Steve's car and I have some very fond memories of the old girl from back in the day. Steve and I were very good friends back then. In fact Terry and I still live within miles of each other, as we did when we were boys still living at home. But I digress. Thanks for the info. Jim

Oh and congrats to you again Phil, Jim is still on cloud nine!!

I actually have the honer to drive Jerrys cars. The sweetest rides I have ever drove. He has 2 of them now, twins. One he has owned for 39 years, the other for 18 years. Jerrys brother Danny that helps him out just happens to be my dad. Lol

DEFranks early car was a 64 Dodge, I took some pics of it at the 84 Gators.

Yes, DeFrank had the '64 Dodge 330 that Rick Johnson now has, but I'm 99% sure that he also had Bagwell's '64 Plymouth for a short while. If this isn't the case, the '64 Plymouth that Ken Montgomery has or had is painted just like the '68 Barracuda and the '64 Dodge that DeFrank had.
And yes, I know that Ken has had his '65 Plymouth since new. The '64 is an automatic and not a stick like the '65.

Ralph buit both of Jerrys cars, he is a very very talented chassis builder. Ralph and Tank put together some amazing race cars.
